✦ Synopsis

Riande (Institute of Science and Technology of Polymers, Spain) and Díaz-Calleja (thermodynamics and physical chemistry, ETSII Polytechnic University, Spain) examine different electrical phenomena in polymers and detail how chemical and supermolecular structures may affect them. The book is structured to meet the needs of beginners in the study of the electric properties of polymers as well as researchers in other types of materials. It explains physical fundamentals of dielectrics, the relation between structure and equilibrium and dynamic dielectric properties, and the electric response of special polymers to force fields. Basic chapters include problem sets for readers who are not familiar with the dielectric behavior of polymeric materials, making the book useful as a text for advanced courses in materials science.
